So it was recently noted that some of the main roster was frustrated after watching NXT because they are given a lot of freedom. These were just internet reports so I figured it was no big deal to post. But, at a recen Comic-Con, the Bella Twins were asked about the time that the NXT girls get vs. the time the main roster gets. I can't copy and paste from the site but here's the link. t.co/AGx728MoDzI have to agree with them. It's got to be frustrating to try and do something worthy in the three minute windows they are given. It's interesting to hear them say that if they were in NXT they would not want to get called up. |

A 15 minute Bellas match would be like an eternity in hell

I'm sorry, no matter how much The Bella Twins have improved in-ring, there's no way in hell I'd want to watch them wrestle anyone for 20+ minutes.

I can't say Im upset that the Bellas aren't getting more match time to be honest.
If we're talking about current roster guys that could probably tear the house down if given the chance, I'm more inclined to be upset that Dolph/Seth/Ambrose/Wyatt/Harper/Cesaro/Kidd aren't given more a chance to prove their worth.

All the divas deserve more time, and its insulting that they don't give them a fair amount of time considering that the majority of them on the roster can actually wrestle really well.
They also get a lot of stick for the booking which isnt a fault of their own. All of the divas could have this "work for 5 minutes and get paid well" attitude, but the top divas on the roster actually want to break this crappy system and put on a good show to represent the division.

Their match at Hell in a Cell was one of the better main roster Divas matches. Probably only bested by Paige/AJ/Nikki at NOC and Brie/Stephanie at SummerSlam.

I guess we'll never know if they can even work if they don't get time to show it.

I think it's insane that a three hour Raw can't find it in them to give the girls five plus minutes.

I think Nikki could go with the men a little bit.
Make her look strong.
And she should be in next year's rumble - and have a respectable showing.

The thought of The Bella Twins in a 20 minute match....

For all of the people saying that a lengthy Bella Twins match would be dire to watch,
Brie vs. Stephanie at SummerSlam
Paige vs. AJ vs. Nikki at Night of Champions
Brie vs. Nikki at Hell in a Cell
Nikki vs. Paige on Main Event at the beginning of this year
All very solid matches. I don't like The Bella Twins, but they have improved and to say otherwise is absurd. They're not bad.

Well to be honest, most Diva matches get like three reactions: 1) the crowd sits in complete silence 2) the crowd completely craps all over it 3) the crowd entertains themselves by starting chants like "CM Punk" "JBL" etc. |

The Bellas are among the less talented Divas on the main roster... I sincerely hope we are never subjected to them in extended in-ring segments. They are living, breathing X-Pac heat.

We aren't booked to care about them, so why should we? |

People can diss the Bella's wrestling a 20 minute match all they want, but until it happens we don't know if it would be good or not.
Both Nikki and Brie have improved a helluva lot in the past year. I remember at one time people would cringe over the thought of Trish Stratus wrestling more than 5 minutes, and by 2004 came around, she was everyone's favourite.
Give Nikki and Brie a chance, people! They could have some sweet matches with the likes of Paige, Nattie, Emma, and the rest.

They were given something like twelve minutes and did great with it. I enjoy seeing the Bellas wrestle but want them nowhere near a microphone. Although Nikki has been good on heel commentary recently. |

I don't see the comparison to "X-Pac heat". X-Pac heat was him getting booed purely for being X-Pac and everyone hated everything about him. Nikki did fine work in getting the crowd to dislike her when she made Brie her assistant. Plus, if they had X-Pac heat they would get booed no matter what, but they were pretty popular as faces in the summer. |

One of those frustrations with the diva's on the main roster is their not being given the chance to break down that invisible barrier. Their counterparts on NXT are being given that chance to break down the barrier the main roster women are trying to do. The Bella's are leaps and bounds better now than before. I can understand their frustration(s) with how little time they have. Three minutes isn't enough to get you invested in the match.
Part of me wished some of the diva's from NXT don't get called up. The Four Way from Rival is one of the best women's matches the WWE has had under their umbrella.

They are nauseatingly awful on the mic and in the ring, and I think the boos agree with that. |
